MOLD.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 658,007, dated September 18, 1900.

Application filed November 13, 1899. Serial No. 736,751. (No model.) 7

ufacture of paper and of cotton goods andsilks.

To this and other ends my invention comprises the mold or carrier hereinafter described and claimed.

The nature, characteristic features, and

scope of the invention will be more fully understood from the following description,taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, forming part hereof, and in Which- Figure 1 is a perspective View illustrating a mold or carrier embodying features of my invention. Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is a view principally in vertical section and illustrating upon a reduced scale the parts of the mold or carrier detached and opened.

In the drawings the mold is provided with pockets, as 1, of which four are shown, although that number may be increased or diminished.

The outer walls or frame 2 3 4 5 of the mold are provided with flanges 6, of wood or metal, which extend on both faces toward the center and form a recess 7 of any required depth on the inside of the mold.

8 and 9 indicate partitions which range in different directions to form the pockets, and there may be as many partitions as required to form the desired number of pockets.

The pieces 3 and 5 of the frame are shown; as hinged to the part 2, and the part 4 is detachably secured, as by means of pins, so thatl these pins may be withdrawn, the part de' tached, and the partitions removed. The partitions may be connected together, as indi-" cated in Fig. 3, and the flanges 6 serve to re-; tain them in place in the mold.

In use the material when comparatively fluid is poured in the pockets 1, while the device lies upon its side. The material very rapidly becomes coherent and plastic and the device is then turned up on edge. In this position the flanges serve to retain the material even though it shrinks in drying, and inasmuch as the device is open on both sides the material is exposed to the-air freely, and consequently dries thoroughly and well, the device serving to supportit while drying. When the material is dry, it may be removed in 00- herent pieces by taking the described device apart. Subsequently the material when immersed in water quickly forms an emulsion which is useful in the arts.

It will be obvious to those skilled in the art to which theinvention appertains that modifications may be made in'detail without departing from the spirit thereof. I Hence I do not limit myself to the precise construction and arrangement of parts hereinabove set forth and illustrated in the accompanying drawings; but,

Having thus described the nature and objects of my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A mold or carrier comprisinga marginal recessed, pocketed frame.

2. A mold or carrier comprising a frame consisting of a number of marginal pieces and provided on each side with inwardly-extending marginal flanges in combination with partitions adapted to the flanges, substantially as described.

3. A mold or carrier comprising recessed marginal pieces hinged together and detachably connected, and partitions connected together and as a whole detachably fitted to said mold or carrier, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name.

WILLIAM F. GILES.
